GREEN COUNTY - This summer, Wisconsin 4-H Youth Development, in partnership with the Kern Family Foundation, will host a week-long gateway academy at New Glarus High School, from July 5 to 8.
The camp will show middle school students new aspects of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The camps also introduce youth to opportunities and careers in STEM fields. Camp activities encourage useful critical thinking, creative problem-solving and collaboration skills.
Youth at the camps can experiment with rocketry and robotics, explore alternative energy through projects like solar cars and wind turbines, and learn about eco-friendly design using recycled materials.
Each project incorporates basic scientific principles, like physics and energy, while giving campers an opportunity to see some of the real-world applications of what they're learning.
